Christ and Buddha and other sketches by Curuppumullage Jinarajadasa published in 1908. In this little booklet that the author wrote for children in 1908 titled Christ and Buddha, C. Jinarajadasa mentions that "Thirty five years ago, Little Flower, two Great ones, the Right Hand and the Left Hand of Lord Maitreya, founded this, our Society. Then did the Lord Buddha give that glorious promise, that so long as three should remain in the Society loyal to its work, His Blessings would rest upon it." He then touchingly adds, "If it should ever come to three only to remain loyal, may you and I be two of them, Little Flower."
